Refrain from using only the CSU word mark or Ram’s Head logo as your account(s)’s profile/avatar image, as they tend to be overly used and lack individuality. The University encourages the creation of a profile image that reflects your CSU unit but allows for individuality as well.
It is recommended to use a photo commonly associated with your organization as your profile picture. If desired, incorporate the CSU logo or your official CSU “unit identifier” into your profile picture.
Please see the Brand Style Guide for reference on using the CSU logo.
Be careful not to stretch or distort the CSU logo or Ram’s head in any way and do not modify the logo in any way.
Ensure proper resolution of the logo.
Green is the preferred color for the CSU logo or Ram’s head, with black or white as an alternative.
The CSU logo and Ram’s head are trademarked materials. Any communication containing the CSU logo and/or Ram’s Head must be approved by the Division of External Relations / Public Relations at 491-4179.
If your unit is in need of an official unit identifier or if you would like help in creating an avatar/profile image for your social media accounts, please contact Lindsay Connors in CSU’s Division of External Relations at 491-4179 or Lindsay.Connors@colostate.edu.
